My clients can go outside at will unless they are unsteady on their feet/seizure-risk. I am actually smelling one smoking with the door open as I type this. Always something to do. )

Hi, Can anyone recommend a good book for a LVN working in a drug rehab detox facility? This is my first job and I work alone at nights and feel out of my element sometimes. Thanks for any suggestions.

Is it possible for your brother to get a long-lasting injection form of his schizophrenia medication? That would eliminate some of the possible chances of relapse (sorry, if that is not the proper term). Is there any possibility he could get into a Adult Day Care program? That would prevent social isolation and there might be some assistance with medication. You are in a tough situation. Good luck to you!

I just signed up with pearson vue yesterday and reading the fine print before the final registration page said something about how the test gives you questions that are really tough in trying to assess your knowledge it said something about how it adjusts the questions to find that point where you can't answer anymore. Basically something about missing 50% of questions is normal because it wants to determine that point and it has to know with 95% accuracy that point where you don't know anymore. Sorry, that's not making much sense. I hope it helps some.

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. I am in the first semester of LVN school in Texas but I am originally from N. California. I always feel like I am the outsider because I don't believe in a lot of the ideas of western medicine aka get antibiotics from your doctor when you have a cold. I am also against circumcision, the CDC' mandated schedule for vaccinations (I believe in delayed), very pro-breastfeeding and I hate all the cop-outs "my baby was ALLERGIC to my milk." I am so tired of all the ignorant statements people make whenever I throw out a minor attempt to educate people in my beliefs they just seem to not get it and don't make an attempt to educate themselves outside of the box. My teacher has made homophobic remakrs, comments about HIV/AIDS and just about every offensive/controversial topic. I am obviously respectful to my teacher and classmates but I just feel so alone in my beliefs and always feel like I am on the outside looking in because I just don't understand the ignorance and unwillingness to think for themselves. "My friends doctor recommened she have her voicebox taken out because she has thyroid cancer just as a "precaution", Oh my doctor told me to feed my baby cereal at 6 weeks. Blah blah blah... I ultimately want to work for Planned Parenthood, or a DO's office or some sort of alternative medicine/healing office as an RN and/or possibly I will go on to be a NP. Any suggestions on how to "fit in" in a world that still believes that anything outside of the "norm" is wrong? Thanks, Ekstasis
